taken with my new SpongeBob SquarePants Flash Micro Digital Camera. Very low resolution (640x480 pixels).
I wet my pants when I saw the results.
The package said it would work on a mac. But after I opened it up and tried repeatedly, I read in the small print in the booklet that iBooks, which I have, are excluded. So I had to use virtual pc.
At any rate, I'm diggin' it. This might be the ultimate spy cam. Who would suspect a cyclops SpongeBob?

It's always eventful around the hummingbird feeders. Ruby-throated hummingbirds are working on bulking up for their long journey to overwintering grounds in Central America.

Last Monday, Ruby went to the RSPCA hospital in Putney to get spayed. She was very brave but I was a nervous wreck waiting for her while they operated! But it all went very well and Ruby is back to bouncing about like a very bouncy thing, even though the vet said she has to be totally non-bouncy for at least a week. She slept most of Monday when we got home, and was a tad woozy on Tuesday during the day, but at about 5pm I took her for a little saunter round the local rose garden (on a lead as per the vet's instructions) and expected her to get tired out very quickly. But no, Ruby decided she wanted to go for a much longer walkie and dragged me all the way round the big park by Blackberry Corner before marching pub-wards bound in an extremely determined manner!
While there she was patted and cuddled by her fan club for an hour or so, but eventually she got tired again and so we went back home where she scoffed down some roast chicken before getting an early night's kip on my bed and stole the blanket.
She's almost back to her normal very happy, bouncy self and so far hasn't been nibbling her stitches so she hasn't had to wear the plastic lampshade.
As usual, she's been a Very Good Dog, bless her! :o)

Ruby-throated hummingbirds are solitary. Adults of this species typically only come into contact for the purpose of mating, and both males and females of any age aggressively defend feeding locations within their territory. The aggressiveness becomes most pronounced in late summer to early fall as they fatten up for migration. This is important because, as part of their migration, they must fly across the Gulf of Mexico - a feat which long confounded scientists, as a 500-mile, non-stop flight over water would seemingly require a caloric energy that far exceeds an adult hummingbird's body weight of 3 grams. However, researchers discovered the tiny birds can nearly double their body mass in preparation for their Gulf crossing. The additional mass, stored as fat, provides enough energy for the birds to achieve this amazing flight.
They feed frequently while active during the day and when temperatures drop, particularly on cold nights, they may conserve energy by entering hypothermic torpor.
Due to their small size, they are vulnerable to insect-eating birds and animals.

Unfortunately, Ruby has decided to be a left-handed golfer so these clubs - a gift from her cousin Mitchell - aren't working all that well, but Ruby loved being on the course, and I love that she may love golfing. It will give me a really good excuse to keep taking her to the course.
Ruby School; Mining began in the area, a short distance north of the border with Mexico, during the 1870's leading to the formation of the town. Ruby became one of the largest mining camps in the area, with a population of 2,000 residents, and prospered until 1940 when the ore in the mine played out. The mine was closed in 1941 and the town almost immediately became a ghost town.
